Old Testament: Adam and EveDetails and events in the story of Adam and Eve

Brief Overview of Adam and EveAfter God created Adam, He gave to him dominion over all
His creation and the garden of Eden as a home to tend it
and keep it. But He gave one restriction:
Gen 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying,
"Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; "but of
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not
eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely
die."
Adam would know what it meant to participate in evil, and
the result would be banishment and death. Death is
separation from God.
Then God created the woman:
Gen 2:18-24 And the LORD God said, "It is not good that
man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable
to him." Out of the ground the LORD God formed every
beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought
them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever
Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So
Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air,
and to every beast of the field.
But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to
him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on
Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and
closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the
LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He
brought her to the man. And Adam said: "This is now bone
of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called
Woman, because she was taken out of Man." Therefore a man
shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his
wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Cain And AbelThe Bible mentions a lot between the time of Adam and the
Flood. For example there was the first murder. Adam and
Eve had many sons and daughters but there are only two
mentioned because they are important to the history of
redemption. Eve thought that her firstborn, Cain, was the
one who would destroy Satan and deliver them from the
curse of sin and death. But Cain jealously killed his
brother Abel. Cain was upset at God because He would not
accept his sacrifice (the best of his good works), though
He accepted Abel`s blood offering (God`s prescribed way).
Cain rose up and slew his brother. God punished him by
driving him out of the midst of the people who served
God. Then God gave Adam and Eve another son, Seth, who
replaced Abel. The redeemer of the world would come from
Seth`s family.
But what about Cain`s family? The Bible reveals that
Cain`s son, Lamech, inherited Cain`s evil ways (Gen 4:19-
24). Sin added unto sin and Lamech boasted that he didn`t
need God`s protection because he had his sword. He
rejected God`s holy standards for marriage and took many
wives. He also killed a man for striking him showing his
contempt for God and his disregard for human life. Evil
spread very rapidly to all mankind through the ungodly
line of Cain.

Cast Out Of The GardenThe Bible reveals that because Adam and Eve ate the
forbidden fruit sin and death entered the world. The Lord
cast Adam and Eve from the garden, and from the tree of
life. He placed Cherubim and a flaming sword, turning in
every direction, to guard the entrance to the tree of life.
Genesis 3:22-24 - "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man
is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now,
lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of
life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God
sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground
from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he
placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a
flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of
the tree of life."

CherubimThe Bible talks a lot about the spiritual realm, and about
angels and demons. Angels are servants of God and demons
are in servants of Satan and in rebellion against God`s
Kingdom. Cherubim are only mentioned a few times in the
Bible. The prophet Ezekiel described Cherubim based on a
vision, they have four faces: a man, an ox, a lion, and an
eagle. Gold Cherubim were carved upon the lid (Mercy seat)
of the Ark of the Covenant, and blood was sprinkled between
them by the high priest on Yom Kippur. Ezekiel also
mentioned that Satan was a Cherub before he fell. There
have been numerous archaeological discoveries of carved
Cherubim used to guard entrances in pagan temples. The
great winged bulls of ancient Assyria can be seen today in
the British Museum in London.

The Fall of ManAdam loved Eve, but she was later seduced by the serpent,
who was actually Satan, the one who rebelled against the
Most High God and the one who leads the evil spirits in
their rebellion against the Kingdom of Heaven and God`s
purposes. Eve was deceived and she ate of the forbidden
fruit (the Bible doesn`t say what kind of fruit it was).
Then Adam, who was with her, chose to eat of the fruit
also and they sinned. When they sinned, spiritual and
physical death came into the world and fellowship with
God was broken. Like a rose being plucked off the vine,
they were immediately disconnected from their source of
life. You can almost see the shame and guilt and fear of
their new nature taking over:
Gen 3:7-10 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and
they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves
together and made themselves coverings. And they heard
the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the
cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves
from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the
garden. Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him,
"Where are you?" So he said, "I heard Your voice in the
garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid
myself."

The Garden of EdenThe exact location of the Garden of Eden is impossible to
know for certainty. The Bible does reveal that a river
flowed out of the garden and was divided into four
branches. The four branches are: the Tigris, Euphrates,
Pishon, and Gihon. In the world today the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers flow from the Persian Gulf up and through
the countries of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. The other two
branches, the Pishon, and Gihon are a mystery. Most
scholars believe that the Garden of Eden was located
somewhere near the Persian Gulf. No trace has ever been
found, some believe that it died when man was expelled,
others believe that it was swept away in the great flood of
Noah. Jesus believed in the Garden of Eden, and taught that
Adam and Eve were two literal people that existed in
history. Paul the Apostle also believed in the Garden of
Eden and taught that the serpent deceived the woman and not
the man.

The Lamb Of God A Covering For SinBut all was not lost. As God was revealing the consequences
of their actions He also gave a glorious promise. God
promised Adam and Eve that He would send a Redeemer
(Messiah), who would destroy Satan and restore them to a
right relationship with Him (Gen 3). In the meantime they
could only approach God with a blood sacrifice. This animal
acted as a substitute for the penalty of sin until "the
lamb of God" who is Jesus Christ would come and pay the
full debt.
Genesis 3:21 "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD
God make coats of skins, and clothed them."
